Herb-it is the usual practice to fire up the train and drink a cold one while the train does it's thing. However, I have seen large scale outdoor layouts built for operation, looks like this is a good un'. The switch lists are cool, Mopman has card orders now which I hope to learn about. My operation is still basic...cars to smelter, cars to mines, tourists see sights. Basic. Operation may be the most "prototypical" thing that model railroaders do, I am glad that I crossed over from watcher to participant.

Lets see some more, please.. Woodie
